Problems solved by technology

However, the flight plan does not include the complete trajectory, and only the specified points and individual cruise altitudes and speeds
the absence of complete trajectories and intent information provided in the system limits the types of planning that can be made and thus the efficiencies that can be achieved
At least some known methods involve only calculating the flight plan route itself, do not include generating a trajectory based on the flight plan and do not include transmitting this trajectory and intent information from the aircraft operator to the ANSP, and do not provide the ANSP with the Flexible methods of output or distribution

Abstract

A method (400) and a system (100) of managing an aerial vehicle trajectory are provided. The remote trajectory management system (RTMS) (100) for a fleet of aircraft includes an input specification module (102) configured to manage information specifying flight-specific input data used to generate a trajectory, an aircraft model module (106) including data that specifies a performance of the aircraft and engines of the aircraft, a predict 4D trajectory module (116) configured to receive the specified inputs from the input specification module and an aircraft performance model from aircraft model module (106) and to generate a 4D trajectory for a predetermined flight, and a trajectory export module (120) configured to transmit a predetermined subset of the predicted trajectory to the aircraft.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of the invention relates generally to the fields of air traffic management and aircraft operator fleet management, and more particularly to a method and system for collaborative planning and negotiation of trajectories among stakeholders. Background technique [0002] Faced with increased levels of air traffic combined with the need to support more efficient operations, increased cooperation between aircraft operators and air navigation service providers (ANSPs) is required. Currently, operators can only provide basic data such as departure and arrival airports and timetables in the days and hours before a flight. While this allows for very rough planning of airspace and runway requirements, it limits the amount of detail that can be provided to ANSPs and operators to distribute resources. A more detailed flight plan with information such as cruising altitude, speed, and preferred enroute airways to fly is not provided until shortly before d...
